Digital Assistants, Facebook Quizzes, And Fake News! You Won’t Believe What Happens Next

As citizens of the web, do we know what is happening to the data we’re sharing about ourselves publicly and privately? As designers and builders of the web, are we ethical about the data we obtain from others?

There’s a dark underbelly to the web we love, and its darkness is rooted in the core decisions we make about our products. This talk will explain more, and share how we can use the Ethical Design Manifesto to make it better.

Talk Date & Time

Laura is a British designer, living in Malmö in Sweden, and working as one half of Ind.ie, a tiny social enterprise striving for social justice in the digital age. Ind.ie has an Ethical Design Manifesto, and released their first publicly-available app, Better, last year.

Laura works on everything from design and development, through to learning how to run a sustainable social enterprise, whilst trying to make privacy, and broader ethics in technology, accessible to a wide audience. On an average day, you can find Laura making design decisions, writing CSS, nudging icon pixels, or distilling a privacy policy into something humans understand.
